This message only appears in the source (I'm looking at clamav-0.70-rc
but it's probably the same in other versions) in one place in
clamd/scanner.c:
/* check permissions */
if(access(filename, R_OK)) {
mdprintf(odesc, "%s: Can't access the file ERROR\n", filename);
return -1;
}

Are you running clamd as root or as a non-privileged user? Is the
directory containing the file readable by that user? /root is normally
only readable by root.
The solution, if you're running clamd as a non-privileged user, is to
put the files into a directory that the clamd user can read and scan
them from there.
Cheers,
John
